Our elementary school is located in a rural part of North Carolina. Our school is a PreK-5th grade public school with a population of 545 students. We have two Title I blended PreK classes and two special education classes. Our current student demographics are 31.68% Caucasian, 30.1% African American, 32.15% Hispanic, and 4.609% multi or Asian. 70.64% of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch.
We have some of the sweetest, most charming students.
They work hard and come to school smiling despite the fact that many live below the poverty line and some are homeless. At our school, we have a program called Capturing Kid's Hearts. This program is teaching the staff how to capture and build relationships with all students. Every morning, we greet our students with a handshake and welcome them to the classrooms. We also have scheduled time each day for students to share good things that are happening.
Teachers buy many of their own supplies because they know our families cannot afford to donate. Our intentional relationship building does not need to be overshadowed by the need for supplies. Help us help our teachers protect their supplies.
My Project
Help me get these fun story cubes to use a center to inspire writers in my elementary school library. Rory's Story Cubes is so much more than a game, rolling the dice has a whole new meaning when images pop up, and there are no wrong answers. Even though it is a game, it offers a great opportunity for children to learn the important components involved in story telling such as planning, creating the setting, sequencing events in addition to higher level skills such as discussing feelings, understanding actions and consequences and creating resolutions. It also helps children to understand and use “wh” question words (what, who, where, when and why).
The ability to understand and express stories or narrative is a vital skill for children to develop.
Help students find their story. When trying to come up with ideas for an activity around student voice, using Rory's Story Cubes to get their creative juices flowing. These Cubes are perfect for helping students to learn to think on the spot and keep the conversation going.
